Event Overview

The Americana Run is a virtual run/walk salutin’ birthday #240 of the US of A!! We invite runners and walkers of all ages -- and nationwide -- to join us in this inaugural Declaration of “We do whatever the heck we want!” Sweet glory Americana medals and other dainty perks of patriotism will be delivered to you by our trusty US Postal Service. A portion of proceeds will go to helping severely injured Veterans rebuild their lives through Homes for Our Troops. What more can we say? “We 💙 ‘murica!”

How does it work?

Step one: Sign up for the Americana Run! You can sign up as an individual or as part of a team. Participating as a team is highly encouraged for max fun factor -- you get to come up with a clever team name, invite others, share your experiences, and (hopefully) run together!

Step two: We ship out your swag! This will include a custom zinc-alloy finisher’s medal, Tyvek® bib, and other fun swag.

Step three: Register to submit your results, qualifying you for awards and prizes!

Step four: Get out and run! Map out your 5K, 10K, or half marathon route. Grab some friends, your dog, your kid, or fly solo -- it’s up to you! When you’re done, submit your results to our official leaderboard.

Step five: Win awards and prizes, and meet fellow participants from around the world in our super supportive Americana Run community!

FAQ

Is this a virtual run? You are CORRECT!

Do I have to complete the distance all at one time or can I break it up into different days? Split it up if you'd like!
